13 January 2024, Gorakhpur JK Organisation, a distinguished multinational conglomerate with a legacy spanning over 138 years, boasting diverse operations, products, and locations worldwide, has once again partnered with Singer India Limited. This collaboration is geared towards the collective well-being of society, as they distribute 1001 sewing machines at no cost to underprivileged women. This philanthropic endeavour is part of their Woman Empowerment Initiative and it took place in the esteemed presence of the Honourable Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Shri Yogi Adityanath. The grand ceremony unfolded at the Baba Gambhirnaath Auditorium in Gorakhpur, marking another significant chapter in their commitment to social welfare.

In this collaborative effort, the primary objective is to empower women, paving the way for self-reliance and a brighter future. The distribution of 1001 Singer unit pack sewing machines by JK Urbanscapes is a tangible manifestation of the commitment to provide these women with the means for self-reliance and creative expression, propelling them towards a future defined by strength and opportunity.

In October 2023, a parallel event transpired in Kanpur, wherein JK Organisation distributed 1001 Singer Sewing Machines free-of-cost, aiming to empower underprivileged women. The initiative garnered appreciation from the Uttar Pradesh government. This time, alongside the distribution of Singer sewing machines, workshops were also organized for women. The training of 1001 beneficiaries occurred in batches from January 3rd to January 9th, 2024.

Mr. Abhishek Singhania, Director at JK Organisation, expressed his satisfaction in once again partnering with Singer India to provide not only the necessary tools but also essential workshops for the betterment of underprivileged women. Beyond the mere distribution of resources, we have launched comprehensive training sessions, unlocking the latent potential within each woman. This transformative drive aims to instill confidence, foster entrepreneurship, and create a ripple effect for societal advancement. With the hum of Singer sewing machines, we envision a tapestry of success stories intricately woven into the progress of Uttar Pradesh.”

Rakesh Khanna, Managing Director of Singer India, shared his sentiments, stating that it is always an honour to recognize the talents of these women. He expressed, “In aligning with this initiative, we take immense pride in contributing to the promising future of 1001 women across India. Our dedication is driven by a sincere intention to create a lasting, positive impact on the lives of those who deserve it most. As we embark on this collaborative journey, we eagerly anticipate witnessing the empowering stories of self-reliance and determination that will undoubtedly unfold. Beyond the privilege of being part of this transformative effort, we are genuinely inspired to persist in championing meaningful change and fostering empowerment within communities.”

The esteemed Chief Minister, Shri Yogi Adityanathji, praised the collaboration between JK Organisation and Singer India, recognizing their efforts. He reaffirmed his government’s dedication to cultivating a business-friendly atmosphere in the state, highlighting policies aimed at fostering inclusive, sustainable, and well-rounded societal development.
